It’s all about priorities and for the Lao Government Sinxay barely registers, though it has been declared a cultural heritage. Declaring something a cultural heritage should be a prelude to a concentrated effort of promoting that heritage. Well, it has been years and years and it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon… So sad. Whereas in our retelling of Sinxay, David wins over the goliath, Nyak Koumphan, it doesn’t look like Sinxay will ever win against the goliath of Lao politics.
